Understanding Stakeholder Perspectives on Ecosystem Management Policies in China’s National Parks Through Q Methodology Chuqi Wang (18309542) Shuqi Song (24998858) Jianrong Zhou (1858156) Liang Li (46069) Medicine Ecology Sociology Cancer Science Policy China’s national park ecosystem service Q methodology subjective attitudes community participation <p>Integrating conservation with community needs is a central challenge for national park governance in developing countries, particularly in China’s emerging national park system. Using the Qianjiangyuan National Park pilot as a case study, we combined the theory of Planned Behavior, Value–Belief–Norm theory, and the Nature’s Contributions to People framework to develop multidimensional statements, and applied Q methodology to identify shared subjective perspectives among stakeholders of the Qianjiangyuan National Park pilot. Four distinct perspectives were identified: Ecocentrism, Community Collaboration, Livelihood Security, and Community Development Benefits. All four shared a rejection of destructive resource use and support for community-based ecotourism. Their formation reflects how structural positions and livelihood conditions shape the subjective construction of conservation costs. These findings provide a theoretical lens for understanding stakeholder responses to protected-area governance and offer practical guidance for designing differentiated participation pathways in national parks under collective land tenure.</p> 2026-09-16T17:45:05Z Dataset Dataset 10.6084/m9.figshare.33866987.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Understanding_Stakeholder_Perspectives_on_Ecosystem_Management_Policies_in_China_s_National_Parks_Through_Q_Methodology/33866987 CC BY 4.0
